🍼 Elon Musk Advocates for Higher Birth Rates While Cutting Maternal Healthcare Funding Elon Musk has long warned of declining birth rates as a threat to civilization. However, recent actions by his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have raised concerns. DOGE has reportedly halted payments on significant grants for maternal healthcare, including a $2 million NIH grant for community health services. This move has led to the immediate cessation of operations for some maternal care programs.  Critics argue that these cuts contradict Musk’s pronatalist stance. Planned Parenthood reported a 1,200% increase in vasectomy appointments and a 760% rise in IUD appointments following DOGE’s targeting of reproductive health funding.  Musk’s actions have sparked debate about the alignment between his advocacy for higher birth rates and the reduction of support for maternal and reproductive healthcare. ⸻ 🧠 SEO Tags: #ElonMusk #BirthRate #MaternalHealthcare #DOGE #ReproductiveHealth #Pronatalism #BETTRNews #BETTRSM https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilybaker-white/2025/04/11/elon_musks_war_on_moms_and_babies/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialflowForbesMainFB&utm_source=ForbesMainFacebook&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR5kD_XgmyiBzMBiv1VAXd7YFpiw2tOMVVyocmLxVnmT7NbFYCogAkuQdcDQYQ_aem_i6BAyGkw_LofZbENMf9-uQ
